VOGT, Diane Sandra

Diane Sandra Vogt was granted her angel wings on Sunday, January 8, 2012. She passed away at the Foothills Country Hospice after a courageous battle with cancer.

Diane was the eighth child of Isabella and Frank Beggs. She was born in Wilkie, Saskatchewan. She attended the University of Saskatchewan and attained an Education degree. She spent most of her professional career in Calgary where she taught grade two for many years. She was a talented teacher and many students remember her and her classroom mascot, Snoopy. In 2000, she was able to retire and enjoy several years with her friends and family. Her grandchildren were especially dear to her and they will miss her special treats, treasure hunts and play times.

She leaves to mourn her son Michael (Lyn) and their children Elizabeth and Aimee; daughter Holly (Lyle) and her son Jayce; siblings, Lois, Carol (Ron), Donald (Bev), Allan (Loretta) and Ross (Evelyn); and extra special friends Gail, Jim, Verna and Ernie.

We would like to thank the Foothills Country Hospice staff for caring for Diane during her illness and for providing support to her loved ones during this difficult time.

Condolence Messages

Dearest Holly and Michael. Please accept my deepest condolences in the passing of your sweet mother. I pray that you will feel God’s peace during this very difficult time. I have very fond memories of your mom, and of you both. God Bless You.

I was blessed to be one of the many children taught by Miss Vogt in Grade 2.
I will always treasure great memories of being in her classroom where she taught school and showed love to each and every student. Whenever I see a picture or cartoon of Snoopy I smile and remember the special lady who had such a great influence for good in so many lives. May you find peace in knowing her legacy will continue to live on in those whose lives she touched. Crystal Rath and Family

We want to pass along our sympathy. I can’t imagine how hard it is. Aunt Diane was a very special person. Her death really hits home as she was only 9 years older than I am. It is so impportant to live everyday and enjoy every moment as much as possible.
Hugs to both of you and your families.
Thinking of you
Colin and Darcie

My heartfelt sympathy in the passing of your mother.
Your Mom and Dad were the best neighbors (Lakeview) anybody could have!
Len and I were blessed to have known them.
My prayers are with you at this sad time.

I would like to express my deepest sympathy on the loss of your mom. I have always had fond memories of her and thought of her often throughout the years,she was the only teacher who was ever able to get through to me. I was in her 87-88 grade 2 class and my younger sister was in her last teaching class at Braeside. I was proud to be part of what I believe was her first teaching year at Braeside Elementary as well as being there to see her off for her last.
I hope you find comfort in all your memories and know she will be remember by all those who were blessed to have known her and had been taught by her.

Hello dear friend,
I have thought of you and your family often. Although I know how difficult this last year has been for your mom, for you and Jayce, I am thankful she has been able to “get her wings” and find peace. May memories of your mom, in time, bring you comfort.

Dear Mike, Holly and family,
Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of your Mom. I was remembering her when she was the EA in my grade 5 class and I still have the Christmas sweater that she bought for me one year! May you be surrounded by God’s strength during this difficult time.
